Opportunistic and pathogenic fungi
Journal of Antimicrobial Chemotherapy, 1991The number of fungal species reported to cause disease in man is increasing rapidly. Very few of these fungi are capable of infecting a normal host. Important progress has been achieved in an understanding of fungal pathogenicity including the mechanisms of adherence to host tissues, penetration of tissues, multiplication within the host, and the ...

True fungi are a diverse and widespread group of microorganisms classified in the kingdom Eumycota. Fungi are eukaryotic, heterotrophic microorganisms. Most fungi are microscopic, but some have large fruiting bodies such as hat mushrooms and bracket fungi. Most of them are aerobic, but a few are anaerobic. They either are single-celled (yeasts) or grow

Insertional mutagenesis of pathogenic fungi
Current Opinion in Microbiology, 1998Screening insertional mutants for loss of virulence is an effective method for investigating the molecular genetic basis of bacterial pathogenesis, but has only recently been applied to fungal pathogens. For many pathogenic fungi transformation with heterologous plasmid DNA results in complex integration events. This problem can now be circumvented for

Controlling pathogenic inflammation to fungi
Expert Review of Anti-infective Therapy, 2007The balance between pro- and anti-inflammatory signaling is a prerequisite for successful host-fungal interactions. Although inflammation is an essential component of the protective response to fungi, its dysregulation may significantly worsen fungal diseases and limit protective, antifungal immune responses.

Killer systems and pathogenic fungi
European Journal of Epidemiology, 1988Our own studies on the yeast killer phenomenon have been concentrated on its application for the differentiation of opportunistic pathogenic yeast isolates within the same species and its use as an epidemiological marker in nosocomial infections caused by yeasts.

Lectins in human pathogenic fungi
Revista Iberoamericana de Micología, 2014Lectins are carbohydrate-binding proteins widely distributed in nature. They constitute a highly diverse group of proteins consisting of many different protein families that are, in general, structurally unrelated. In the last few years, mushroom and other fungal lectins have attracted wide attention due to their antitumour, antiproliferative and ...

Autophagy in plant pathogenic fungi
Seminars in Cell & Developmental Biology, 2016Autophagy is a conserved cellular process that degrades cytoplasmic constituents in vacuoles. Plant pathogenic fungi develop special infection structures and/or secrete a range of enzymes to invade their plant hosts. It has been demonstrated that monitoring autophagy processes can be extremely useful in visualizing the sequence of events leading to ...

Systemic Mycoses—Primary Pathogenic Fungi
The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 1973Abstract Systemic mycoses are caused by certain species of Deuteromycetes and Schizomycetes. The primary infection occurs in the lung and is acquired by inhaling spores or hyphae. The severity of the infection varies from a subclinical type to a disseminated and often fatal disease.

Insect Pathogenic Fungi as Endophytes
2016In this chapter, we explore some of the evolutionary, ecological, molecular genetics, and applied aspects of a subset of insect pathogenic fungi that also have a lifestyle as endophytes and we term endophytic insect pathogenic fungi (EIPF). We focus particularly on Metarhizium spp. and Beauveria bassiana as EIPF. The discussion of the evolution of EIPF

Viruses of Plant Pathogenic Fungi
Annual Review of Phytopathology, 2009Mycoviruses are widespread in all major groups of plant pathogenic fungi. They are transmitted intracellularly during cell division, sporogenesis, and cell fusion, but apparently lack an extracellular route for infection. Their natural host ranges are limited to individuals within the same or closely related vegetative compatibility groups.
